Originally from Northern Illinois, I was a cello playing Gypsy for almost 20 years…. In my youth .
Eventually living in Spain, Mexico, 6 months in Japan and one year in France ( Paris), mostly for musical reasons, and some not.
Now, a young senior, I still play in local community orchestras and coach young cello students
New to CS world, I admire so many amazing hosts, their incredible world travels and adventures!
I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Again I am very new to CS world, loving it and briefly have enjoyed the sharing experiences of some great hosts!
More please.
May this dubious world we live in be helped a bit by the hospitality driven friendliness of couch surfers world wide!
